Meet Me There Page #5

---

Ada, I don't know what we're doing.

I don't either.

Are you tired?

I am so tired.

What if we just...

spend the night out here?

Rest.

Sleep if we can.

Not in these f***ing woods with these f***ing

crazy people, Ada.

We aren't... in the woods.

You still got the knife, right?

Mmmm hmmmm.

And, I've got this.

Maybe...

We just...

Sit here for as long as we can.

And if anything...

Comes out of the woods...

We'll just...

We'll just do what we're supposed to do, right?

Cal, I'm really sorry.

You don't have to be sorry.

I am. I'm sorry about...

everything.

I love you.

And I want you. I really want you.

It's just something just happens...

It goes wrong.

And I don't know...

what to say...

how to explain it...

I'm sorry.

I want you, too.

Everyday.

Every hour.

Every second of every day since I met you.

I have never wanted anybody else.

Even

I know.

I'm sorry.

You have nothing to be sorry for.

I do.

I'm so terrified of you all of the time.

Terrified that you'll get hurt.

Terrified that you'll leave me.

I'm terrified that one day you'll wake up...

and roll over and look at me...

and just think "what the f*** was I doing?!"

And then you'll just leave.

I wouldn't.

I would never leave you.

You saved me.

I can't believe I did that.

Not just then.

You never gave up on me.

And, that's why...

I'm sitting here holding a knife...

in the middle of f***ing Oklahoma...

and I'm gonna stab the sh*t out of anything that

moves!

That's all I've ever wanted in a girlfriend.

Everything is going to be okay.

Everything is going to be okay.

Ada, come here.

Go ahead and pick out something.

This is what it's like to be baptized.

Let me show you again.

That's a good girl.

Now, let's get you clean.

Oh, yeah, well all you do is drink!

Well, that's the only thing I gotta do because I gotta

put up with you!

Always excuses!

Why don't you look in the mirror once in a while?

Get the f*** out!

You're always leaving!

Don't need you now, you piece of sh*t!

Ada, come here. Come here.

I want you to go upstairs and get your toys.

We're gonna stay with some friends for a little while

in Mansfield.

Maybe a long while.

Go one. Go get it.

Del!

Come back here!

You misunderstood me!

I would never hurt her.

Whatever she said...

She's...

On the happy golden shore...

Where the faithful part no more...

When the storms of life are over...

meet me there.

When the night dissolves away...

Into pure and perfect day...

I am coming home to stay...

meet me there.

Meet me there.

Meet me there.

Where the Tree of Life is blooming...

meet me there.

Where the faithful part no more...

on the happy golden shore...

Where the storms of life are over...

meet me there.

My dad got it for us...

he had been gone for a while.

And, he got it for us for Christmas.

I think he was trying to outdo my mother.

So, he got us this expensive thing.

And...

It was gigantic.

He got it for both of us because he didn't know

either of us.

We were so happy.

But then the longer I looked at it...

the more the happy went away.

And the more I just...

the bitterness...

I would have rather had my dad.

There's another one of me talking on a toy phone.

My grandfather had gotten it for me for no

particular reason from K-Mart.

And, I used to pretend to call my dad...

Um...

I'm like four or five and I'm just smiling my ass off...

It's the stupidest toy.

The more I look at it...

The more the smile faded...

I remembered...

My grandfather calling my mom a "b*tch."

And her...

driving me out of there and moving me to Texas.

The only thing I can do to...

remember to be happy...

is to not think about it.

Never go back.

How do you feel now?

Good.

I think.

Good.

I'm not better. I'm still sad.

And scared.

I don't know where I've been or where I'm going...

But I know it's going to be okay.

Everything is going to be okay.

Excuse me for a second...

I'm gonna go get a soda.

Do you want anything?

A water, I guess.
